چکیده
The chemical reaction lies at the very heart of chemistry. In spite of its paramount importance, an understanding of chemical reactions still falls short of the chemists’ expectation. Microscopically, chemical reactions are constituted by atomic movements on a typical time scale of several hundreds of picosecond (10 s). It has been a formidable task for chemists to track down a reaction process in experiment, as both the high spatial and temporal resolutions are required. On the other hand, there are no such problems in the ‘virtual laboratory’. With highly accurate ab initio methods such as density functional theory, chemical reactions can be studied in detail on powerful computers.

Entry into winner-take-all and proportional-prize contests: An experimental study
This experiment compares the performance of two contest designs: a standard winnertake-all tournament with a single fixed prize, and a novel proportional-payment design in which that same prize is divided among contestants by their share of total achievement. We find that proportional prizes elicit more entry and more total achievement than the winner-take-all tournament. The proportional-prize...
متن کاملEntry into Winner-Take-All and Proportional-Prize Contests
This experiment compares the performance of two contest designs. In the winner-take-all tournament, the highest performing contestant wins a prize. In the proportional-payment design, that same prize is divided among the contestants according to their share of total achievement. We find that proportional prizes elicit higher entry rates and thus more total achievement than the winner-take-all t...

Medical History is delighted to announce the winner of the 2014 William Bynum Prize: Clare Leeming-Latham’s wonderful essay titled ‘Unravelling the “tangled web”: Chemotherapy for Tuberculosis in Britain, 1940–70’. We are also pleased to announce a set of joint runners up: Elisa González (‘Nurturing the Citizens of the Future: Milk Stations and Child Nutrition in Puerto Rico, 1929–60’) and Anne...
متن کاملThe optimal prize structure of symmetric Tullock contests
We show that the optimal prize structure of symmetric n-player Tullock tournaments assigns the entire prize pool to the winner, provided that a symmetric pure strategy equilibrium exists. If such an equilibrium fails to exist under the winner-take-all structure, we construct the optimal prize structure which improves existence conditions by dampening efforts. If no such optimal equilibrium exis...
